Ashir,
        The message on return to the same proxy point that it has passed through already will have the opportunity to check if the message is a loop or a spiral. I would expect that because it is a forwarding loop the message will seen to be a spiral and will then rely on the process of the proxy decrementing the Max-Forwards field. When the Max-Forwards reaches 0 the proxy will return a '483 Too Many Hops' final response to the UAC.

        Have a read of the fields in question in 3261, check that the UAC or proxy is using the Max-Forwards field.

Regards,

Wayne Davies

        Subject:        [Sip-implementors] Redirect question



Hi,

Would be glad if someone can help me understand how to get rid of the
following loop.

A Redirect server at example1.com domain has Bob's redirection information
as follows:
sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Redirect server at example2.com domain is configured as:
sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

In this scenario, an INVITE to  sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] will be redirected to
example2.com domain. The redirect server at example2.com domain will
transfer the call to example1.com. I see an endless loop will occur.

If the redirect servers are somehow misconfigured as above, how the loop can
be detected or ended?

Thanks.
Ashir
